I have a brand new group that will be forming soon! This group is based off of my unique approach that has been super effective for many, many compulsive gamblers. The great benefit of working in a group is that not only do you get my professional expertise and support, but you can learn a ton from your fellow group members. Also, this service is significantly cheaper than my individual sessions. If interested, please reach out to me soon so I can schedule a brief phone consultation with you.

We specialize in depression & anxiety, eating dIsorders, alcohol issues or opioid problems, using natural techniques when possible, short CBT/DBT sessions, plus psychopharmacology or Suboxone as needed.

This virtual support group is for partners navigating Relationship OCD (ROCD) and Relationship Anxiety, where intrusive thoughts, rumination, compulsions, and uncertainty create relationship stress and emotional disconnection.

Grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the group offers support to understand attachment anxiety, worry, conflict, and communication struggles while building emotional safety. Partners learn to respond with empathy and strengthen connection with clarity and security.

This is a weekly therapy group focused on understanding what happens between you and other people in real time. Rather than only talking about events outside group, we pay attention to emotions, thoughts, urges, and patterns as they show up in the room. With the support of the therapist and group members, you’ll practice noticing how you impact others, how others impact you, and how to respond differently in the moment. The goal is to build more honest, flexible, and effective ways of relating—so the changes you make in group carry into your relationships outside of it.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Support Groups
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.

When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.

How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.

Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
